Trophy Hunter Member 743, 3329 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 300 660.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	tryed to get better nutrition during thae day before training but work is still proving hars to eat around Havnt benched in 10-12 weeks. Had been concentrating on OH for my comp. So went into tonight to see where I stood. Last time I benched I did 5x5 @ 100 and it was hardish. Felt tired and lethagic walking into the gym. Didn't think it was going to be productive! Bench 60kg x10 70kg x8 80kg x5 90kg x5 100kg 4x5 2 board press 120kg x5 In my opinion I've lost nothing on my bench even know I havmt trained it. Prob a lot to do woth raping my triceps for OH work. Snatch 60kgx5 70kgx3 75kgx1 80kg 2x1 85kg x0 cleans 80kgx5 90kg x5 95kg 2x5, x3 Very happy with that tonight!

Trophy Hunter Member 743, 3329 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 300 660.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	Still havnt got access to a the internet on a device that isn't my blackberry. So squat vid will have to wait. Tonight. I'm trying to get back into ketosis so I've pretty much had zero carbs for the past few days, still energy levels where high today and I felt up for it! Deads 60kgx5 120kgx5 160kgx3 200kgx3 250kg 2x3, 1x2. Wanted 3x3, but was happy enough with this, its a little over 90% 1rm. Hitched the last rep of second set and the same on the last set. Last rep on second set I got to my knees with ease and then cudnt lock out! Bb row 60kgx6 80kgx6 90kgx6 100kgx6 Db row 50kg 4x8 Lat pull downs 4x6 Hyper extensions + 25kg 4x6 Ab pull downs 4x8 Over head squats 20kg x5 60kg 2x5 Good session I thought, especially given the low to zerop carbs!

Impressive front squatting. 140kg frontie looked solid. What gym is that? Looks like the Glasgow Uni gym (Well same rack anyway) I know its not though.

Trophy Hunter Member 743, 3329 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 300 660.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	Aye strathy gym. Come down and join the Power and Strength club pal.. Ran by my glamorous assistant "bigken". I reckon I became 5-10% stronger from just joining. We will be at the freshers fare.. handing out free shizzle and ripping on all you weaklings.

Trophy Hunter Member 743, 3329 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 300 660.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	Took a holiday from strongman/powerlifting to play some rugby to get fitter/leaner!

Deads. 140 2x6 160x6 180 2x5. - all easy as pie to knee level then a weird pain in my knee from knee to lock out.

ACL is a very big injury, I did my LCL as you know, didn't rupture, but it was a partial tear. If you're having weakneww in the knee I fear that you have actually got a minor grade 1 -> grade 2 tear, just not a grade 3 tear which is a total ligament rupture. You need to rehab the knee and get it sorted before doing ANY heavy weights or rugby! If you don't and cause further damage it could cause you to really mess things up and I know how important getting back to the level of rugby you were at is to you mate!

Trophy Hunter Member 743, 3329 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 300 660.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	I agree totally.. Been uber pissed off being off the pitch and out of the gym, especially since barrie has actually listened and is eating tonnes and making progress. So he never shuts up about it. No dynamic stuff yet.. Still need to find a decent physio.

Trophy Hunter Member 743, 3329 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 300 660.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	Very dodgy weekend in regards to sleep and nutrition. Today Deads 60kg x8 100kg x5 140kg x5 180kg x3 200kg x3 220kg x1 belt flew up 240kg x1 belt - tiny tiny hitch, was coming through anyway. Axle C+Press 60kg x5 75kg (1 clean 5 press)x2 90kg x0 90kg x0 belt - Couldnt get the clean right at all. 75kg (5 clean, 5 press) x3 Axle Push Press from Rack 90kg belt x5 90kg belt x3 would hope for more when jerking, didn't fancy jerks with my knee at the minute since my technique is sloppy at the best of times. NO fire, NO motivation, NO anger today at all. It was just one big slog.
